Teaser Tuesday: Ruby Red

Jay from Running In My Headis a regular teaser! Now before y’all go getting hot under the collar, Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by A Daily Rhythm, and open to all. Open a random page of a book you are currently reading, and share a few sentences from that page. But make sure you don’t share any spoilers!

I am deeply riveted by the writing, and the history, behind Ruby Red:

‘Instead, they stab the hand that shows the truth. No, sir. Until we can unite brother to brother, until we can snuff out the burning jealousy that destroys when one of us rises from the filthy ashes -‘ Julian ran his hand slowly along the jagged scar that ran the length of his forearm – ‘then, sir, we will be ready for change.’

TT is definitely your kinda thang, and I can highly recommend Ruby Red. It’s supposed to be YA, but it has absolutely gripped me. Talking to my husband, he says her grasp of history and the events in the book is spot on.
